Gentiles

The first place we see the word "gentiles" in the bible is Genesis 10:5 where it appears twice.[1] The first pace it is said to mean "Gentiles" and the second place it is translated "nations."

It is from the Hebrew word "gowy" [GamelVavYod ] [2] which is only translated "gentiles" 30 times but translated "nation" 374 times.

We see the same pattern of translating the same word different ways in the new Testament with the word [3] translated Gentiles 93 times, but nation 64 times.

We also see the Greek word "Hellen" translated "Greek" 20 times, and translated "gentile" 7 times.[4]

Nation

A nation is "a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language". While, "It may inhabit a particular country or territory", there are nations who have such strong social bonds that they survive and even prosper without "inhabiting a particular country or territory". As an example, the "North American Indian people or confederation of peoples."

A nation is often a territory where all the people are led by the same government, but the word “nation” can also "refer to a group of people who share a history, traditions, culture and, often, language—even if the group does not have a country of its own."
